• Pooglet is here! The I’m So Post Modern filmclip is finally up! You can see it at the Pooglet section of my website. The resolution is not perfect but should suffice. Again, thanks to everyone who submitted pictures, and please understand that I couldn’t use all of them, and that some of them do appear but only extremely briefly. I will personally email you all as soon as I can.

• Industry insiders (Nan and Pop) have labelled my debut Australian tour a ‘nice thing,’ with around 700 punters witnessing the ramshackle, prog-folk roadshow.

May your plans actualise like Voltron, forming a five-lion force field of self-unity that slays the poorly animated swamp-octopus of your worries. Everything’s going to be fine, or thereabouts, roughly, we suppose, with a vengeance. Awomen.”

NEWS (Brought to you by the Inappropriate Miner Jokes Bureau. We are the only nationally recognised service for comedians attempting material about the Tasmanian miners. We’ve been in the business green lighting comedians and deciding how long is long enough since yesterday.)

• The Renegades of Folk have had their own ticket-tape parade (me tearing up all our posters and flyers and throwing them at Josh) to celebrate what insiders are calling a ‘successful 2006 campaign.’ We sold about 900 tickets, and for the first time in my four year history of the festival, actually made a little bit of money. Overall, we were pleased with …
